Granny Walker kayak cart.

Great presentation! Looks like all the work paid off with a very capable cart. Hope it works as good as it looks!

Very nice work on the webbing Insayn. Did you need a special needle in your sewing machine to get through the webbing? Or did you use some type of softer webbing?

Actually I have a set of the PVC Wheelez wheels if you're interested. If you are, I must warn you that the PVC have been known to slowly leak air. Mine have yet to have issues but it could happen.

Wife said it does not take a special needle for the webbing.  My aunt use to work for Besttop in Denver Colorado as a designer for after market soft tops, Jeeps, Samurai's, Viper's, Corvettes, etc...  She would wander through the shop waste bins and pillage parts and materials to reuse (aka take home).   Now that she is retired, she has a garage full of one offs, blems, discontinued material, snaps, #10 zippers, Velcro, etc....
She sent me quite the supply of odds and ends to play with.  The webbing was just what I needed! 

As for the Wheeleez, what size are they?   And whatcha want for them? 
I'm cheap like BS so keep that in mind. 
Actually I'm not cheap, I'm frugal.   

On their website, they don't have really extreme working temperature ranges either.  Looks like, on a hot 100º F day, they could be in trouble. 

I have an idea or two that I want to try for making a set of sand tires that will work like the Wheeleez but WAY on the cheap.

I don't think this will be a major set back around here very often...

Insayn,

Wow! I missed this one until I read Demonic's cart post. That was a great build! Great job and a great candidate for a sticky how-to article. Tatco's ski idea got the juices flowing as well (maybe more like a folding snowboard? Hmmmmm)

Also after reading Demonic's cart post, you guys have waaaay too many toyz,,, tig welder, tube bender, plasma cutter, airplanes?    You guys are waaaay too cool. 

insayn.. when you want to start clearing out some of the odds and ends of straps and zippers and fabrics you were given i will take them my way......some of that could come in handy for paddle bags or storage bags. and other items.

Insayn, the second picture of your T13 interior (page 1 of thread) shows a strapped up black bag with a coil leash or wire coming out of the bottom.  Is that the battery bag I should have received with my T13?

Great job on the cart Insayn. Here is an idea, why not use two wheels on each side. They are cheap and should spread the load better. Maybe cap two wheels (each side) with a sheet of plastic of some type and affix with glue and tie wraps. I'm probably out of the stowable size of cart now though.
Thanks for the pix. They add so much. I guess I am a visual guy.

My first long walk up a hard pack beach was doable and I did have dually's on each side.  Kinda heavy. Since I will be needing two carts eventually (wife's kayak), I went ahead and tossed some more cash out picked up a Wheeleez kayak beach cart with the big 11.8" x 7" floaty tires.  I can stuff the entire business in the front hatch with lots of room to spare.  I'm set for really soft sand, and really hard surfaces now.
